The new addiction to working all the time
21 days ago
- Excitement over new AI capabilities leads to overlooking consequences of constant usage.
- People multitask with AI tools, leading to constant context switching and inability to stop.
- Daily mental exhaustion from AI usage is comparable to intense university finals.
- There is a need to bring back calm and regulate usage, questioning if it's driven by scarcity or urgency.
- The removal of constraints (like building software easily) creates a lack of self-regulation, similar to a cheat code in a game.
- Optimism exists that people will realize the toll and find a balance, determining what is 'enough' each day.
